Compare AWS Device Farm vs. Testkube

AWS Device Farm is a service designed for application testing that enhances the quality of both web and mobile applications by allowing users to conduct tests across a wide variety of desktop browsers and actual mobile devices, all without the need to set up or manage any testing infrastructure. This service permits concurrent execution of tests on numerous desktop browsers or physical devices, thereby accelerating the overall testing process, and it produces videos and logs that facilitate the quick identification of any issues within your application. You can evaluate your app in parallel on a vast array of real devices hosted in the AWS Cloud, utilizing one of the built-in frameworks for testing without the necessity to create or maintain test scripts, or you can opt for a supported automation testing framework. Engage with devices in real time through gestures, swipes, and interactions directly from your web browser, and seamlessly run your Selenium tests concurrently across various versions of Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox available in the AWS Cloud, ensuring comprehensive coverage and efficient testing practices. With AWS Device Farm, you can significantly streamline your testing workflow while ensuring your applications meet high-quality standards.

A test execution is defined by a combination of a testing tool, a repository of tests, and specific arguments or parameters. You can utilize the out-of-the-box workflows provided by Testkube for various testing tools or create a personalized workflow tailored to your needs. It's possible to group related or unrelated test execution workflows into comprehensive suites for better organization. Additionally, you can establish a searchable repository filled with test executions that are ready to run. Proactive triggers allow you to initiate test executions in response to CI/CD events, on a manual basis, or according to a predefined schedule. Furthermore, you can set up your system to respond to Kubernetes infrastructure events, like deployments, to automatically launch test executions. With Kubernetes’s inherent scalability, you have the option to increase the number of concurrent test executions to meet demand. You can also take advantage of advanced scaling options to enhance load tests, allowing you to expand from a single execution to as many as 1,000. By parallelizing functional tests, you can significantly reduce the time required for completion. All logs and artifacts generated during the execution of test tools are stored in a centralized repository, making them easily accessible. Moreover, the system includes features for quickly identifying errors by highlighting keywords associated with failures in the logs. In addition, utilizing various filtering options can enhance your ability to sift through logs efficiently, ensuring a smoother debugging process.
